In an effort to keep things moving along at a good pace, please familiarize yourself and practice the PDGA competition manual guidelines and the rules concerning pace of play.
3.02 Pace of Play
All competitors shall play without undue delay and make every effort to keep up with the group in front of them. Players are expected to quickly move from the completion of one hole to the tee area of the next hole. Any undue delay should not affect the pace of play within the group behind them. Also, while advancing down the fairway, a player shall not unduly delay play by his or her actions.
A player causing undue delays may be issued an excessive time violation by agreement of the playing group or a Tournament Official. Please see PDGA Rules of Play 802.03 Excessive Time regarding specific penalties.
802.03
A. A player has taken excessive time if they are present and have not thrown within 30 seconds after:
1. The previous player has thrown; and,
2. They have had a reasonable amount of time to arrive at and determine the lie; and,
3. They are next in the throwing order; and,
4. The playing area is clear and free of distractions.
B. A player who takes excessive time receives a warning for the first violation. A player who takes excessive time after having been warned for it during the round receives one penalty throw.
